The arrival of a baby in a family causes great happiness. But, dads and moms know that good nights sleep are over. From now on, many nights will be spent awake, and getting the little one to stop crying seems like a very difficult task. Especially for first-time parents, who don't know why they cry, making it an almost impossible mission. But is there a really effective method to soothe a baby?
Well, the answer is yes and the method used is surprisingly simple. At least, that's what American pediatrician Robert Hamilton says on his YouTube channel. With more than 30 years of experience in the field of pediatrics, Hamilton, who works at the Pacific Ocean Pediatrics clinic, located in the city of Santa Monica, California, shows the step by step that makes a newborn baby stop crying immediately.
At this stage they are much lighter, and therefore it is easier to apply this type of movement.
The first movement is to hold the baby with the palm of your non-dominant hand, and cross your arms right in front of your chest. The child should be face down, and moms and dads should be careful when supporting the chin.
Then, tilt the child's body at an angle of about 45 degrees. With your dominant hand, hold your butt and legs. Then, make small and light movements, both circular and from top to bottom, as if you were going to soothe the baby. Okay, the miracle is done.
